New Study: More ABA Therapy Hours May Not Mean Better Outcomes

Research challenges the idea that more ABA therapy hours always lead to better results for autistic children, suggesting individualized approaches may be better.

A recent 2026 study by Catalight Research Institute analyzed 725 autistic children receiving ABA therapy and found that more treatment hours didn't necessarily lead to better outcomes in adaptive skills, communication, or behavior. The research suggests autism care should be personalized rather than following rigid hourly recommendations (like the common 40-hour/week standard). Several ABA providers note the optimal hours vary per child - some thrive with fewer focused sessions while others need more support. The key is individualized programming based on each child's needs and progress.
